I'd have to buy universal racing springs if I want springs on the cheap, and there's so many out there that can fit my car and there's dozens of combinations that people use that I can't decide what's best for me. And as I mentioned before, it's either chop-chop or finding stock Mk2 Supra springs that don't exactly offer a good amount of lowering. More often than not Cressidas in my model generation run cut springs, even if the ride is shitty, they know that. Hell, if I wanted short-stroke shocks, I'd have to run shocks off of OTHER cars, and those need a bit of adjustment to fit properly.

Yeah "you gotta pay to play", but there's a limit on how much one should pay, especially if you drive an older car.
Serialnine makes coilover kits for Cressies.
$1500 is cheap. And they're Stance Coilovers.
